HI Risto
goodnight :D
If I do, will you become a moderator, and moderate your response to keep the thread from further devolving? Here's hoping. (The best response, as would have been appropriate several times already, is no response, or a simple 'Hey, that works!.')
And if you are going to bitch because it isn't 'pointy' enough, make the lines 0.1pt in width, with a higher number of blend steps.

Nice try David but the point is blunt and the other end is serrated. If you have dozens of these 150 step blends in a picture it will strain resources. You can use clipview but that takes more time, and again, more resources. See attachment.
Do you have a quote of mine you can point to regarding this ‘devolving’?
I tried that and blunt end still remained blunt. Increasing the steps will only increase the strain on resources.Quote:

So far, I would have to say I still prefer the ellipse fill.

I'm sure David was referring to my somewhat OT post. My "point" was that there is already a posted solution...
He (David) has posted a solution to a support question... Please don't rag on him like he's your bitch. It's not nice.
Your entire post was designed to 'devolve' the thread. Ask for a blend solution, then ream someone for supplying one -- you are far from moderator material. Sorry to see that, as I had hoped this board had gotten over some of the issues of the past.
Although I can tell it won't matter to you, and you will continue your silliness, the serrations don't show up in a bitmap export because they are smaller than the exported resolution (even at 300 dpi). The other end does become thinner if you decrease the line widths, and it looks 'pointy' in the export for the same reason as previously stated.
I was giving solutions and letting the OP choose his own. He now has more tools in his kit, and each one is useful under the right circumstances. We've also discussed some of the pros and cons to each tool, and given workarounds to some of the cons if he needs those tools. That's good enough for me. Bye.
Best wishes,
David
Could you point to your solution, and my reaming [to scold or reprimand severely] of you? I’ve seen neither one.Quote:

From where I sit it is blunt, serrated and transparent. See attachments. I’m not sure why you put apostrophes around ‘pointy’.Quote:

I said yours (and others’) efforts were good, and reminded you that the OP was about fills for a curved object, not blending colours in lines. It was relevant information.Quote:

Bye.
If anyone can accurately simulate the elliptical fill in question with a blend, I'd still be interested in seeing it, out of interest. :)

Thanks David. I just added artwork to my last post, with the artwork at 6" wide. I had to use the max number of blend steps but it was still no good. It's best to attach the xara file for this latest image, as your attachment is low res. I might want to use the image large - 12 inches wide, and export as high res. Any blunt ends or serrations would stand out if I did that. Once I see it in xara I will know if it is any good. Also, while you produced an excellent copy of the shadows for that elephant trunk blend (better than mine), this latest image doesn't really simulate the ellipse fill I provided. Anyway, good try but I will need to see the xara file. ;)
